Tasting notes

The estate describes an aromatic nose with fresh fruit elegantly mingled with oak, ripe plum flavours, firm tannin structure, good drive through the finish, and acidity that points to fine ageing potential.

This is an older vintage. It was sourced from a reliable, proven source, checked for authenticity by our in-house sommelier, and stored in our constant-temperature cellar after arrival.
